How Nokia Point & Find works
Overview
Nokia Point & Find is based upon real time image processing and
automated object recognition technology, utilizes an innovative
visual interface, and provides smart directory capabilities and text-
entry search.
With Nokia Point & Find’s automatic object recognition, when a
camera phone using the Nokia Point & Find client app is pointed at
an object, the Nokia Point & Find system uses a variety of the device’s
technologies (including the camera and GPS positioning) to evalu-
ate the object. Then, by searching through a database of the world’s
objects that have previously been tagged, Nokia Point & Find identi-
es the item and returns a set of links to associated info, content, and
services – all in real time and on the phone.
Powerful automatic visual object recognition
With Nokia Point & Find’s object recognition capabilities, people on
the go easily access information and services related to a world’s
tagged objects by simply pointing their camera phone at an object
they are interested in. Nokia Point & Find automatically recognizes a
world’s tagged objects in real time and delivers identifying informa-
tion and links to related services and content.
Nokia Point & Find’s automatic visual object recognition mode re-
quires no physical tags or codes on objects, and users avoid clumsy
mobile typing or guessing keywords to nd what they want.
Full 1D and 2D barcode recognition
While one of Nokia Point & Find’s unique strengths is its object recog-
nition – which works without any physical tags or codes on objects –
Nokia Point & Find technology is also fully capable of recognizing 1D
barcodes and 2D QR codes 1-10.
Smart directory navigation and text-entry search
Smart directory navigation works in conjunction with object recog-
nition or 1D barcode scanning, facilitating easy and intuitive user
navigation to deeper levels and different areas of a world. When ob-
ject recognition or barcode scanning identies an object, results can
include nested smart directories of information and content.
